+# New Pages
+Before adding a new page, ensure that an existing page doesn't already cover the topic you're looking to work on. If there's overlap, see if it's more appropriate to add to an existing page rather than creating a new one. We should aim for the least number of pages we can while avoiding massive, lengthy pages of documentation.

+# Writing Tone and Style
+All contributions should use a professional tone. Avoid using terms such as "I" or referring to yourself by any means. If you're documenting a technique you created, feel free to credit yourself, but credits for "discovering" things that exist in every kiosk isn't appropriate.

+<p style="text-align:center;"><span class="text-huge"><mark class="pen-red"><strong>DO NOT PRETEND TO BE A REDBOX EMPLOYEE.</strong></mark></span></p>
+<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Do not attempt to move these machines on your own. Ensure all tools have a high enough weight rating before use.</strong></p>
+<h1>Weight</h1>
+<p><strong>The actual weight of these devices has not been determined as of yet.</strong>&nbsp;Individuals have reported that these kiosks can weigh as much as 850 pounds, reducing to around 600 pounds without discs. Some employees have claimed the unit is closer to 350 pounds when empty.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>Ensure any tools your using can at least support 800 pounds before moving anything - the more, the better. High rated dollies may be easier to move a machine with as many have additional sets of wheels you can deploy to roll heavy loads on.&nbsp;</p>
+<h1>Recommended Tools</h1>
+<ul>
+  <li>14 mm socket and ratchet (thinner is better) or wrench for removing the nuts from the outdoor kiosk retaining bars.</li>
+  <li>¾" socket ratchet for removing the nuts from some of the outdoor signs</li>
+  <li>Extender for bolts that might need more force</li>
+  <li>WD40 or some other solution to loosen rusted bolts</li>
+  <li>Angle grinder with a cut off disk</li>
+  <li>Appliance dolly rated for at least 800 lbs</li>
+  <li>Philips head screwdriver for adjusting kiosk feet</li>
+  <li>DiCs or diagonal cutting pliers for cutting the power on outdoor kiosks</li>
+  <li>Flathead screwdriver for accessing outdoor kiosk power panel</li>
+</ul>
+<h1><strong>Indoor Kiosks</strong></h1>
+<p>There isn't anything too notable about how these kiosks are installed. As far as it's known, all indoor kiosks are simply resting on nylon feet and have no additional mounting to the ground. Power is supplied via a wall plug and can easily be removed.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>These can be lifted and removed from a store with a sufficiently rated dolly, such as an appliance dolly.</p>
+<p>For cleanup, consider bringing with some basic floor cleaning supplies such as a broom. However, it's likely staff on-site will be ready to clean up after you as you've prearranged pickup. To avoid creating a slipping hazard and potentially injuring someone, do not use any cleaning equipment that will wet the ground.</p>
+<h1>Outdoor Kiosks</h1>
+<p>Most, if not all, outdoor kiosks are connected to power via a custom wired connection to the building's electrics. Some buildings will have external breaker panels nearby for their Redbox. However, not all installations will have this. <strong>Ensure power has been disconnected before cutting any wires or removing the kiosk.</strong></p>
+<p>Some outdoor kiosks are bolted into the ground they were set on. If this is the case, it's possible the original bolts have seized into the ground. This will make removal more difficult without the right tools.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>Other outdoor kiosks are mounted with a retaining rail holding the original nylon feet to the ground. This can be unbolted (14mm) to allow removal of the unit.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>Take proper care to ensure no exposed live wires are left after removing an Outdoor Kiosk. Take all signage and don't leave any hazards behind, such as partially removed bolts embedded in the ground. If any cut bolts are sticking out of the ground, a solution might be using a cut-off disc on a grinder to cut them flush with the ground. Be sure to clear away flammable detritus (leaves, paper, etc.) before using the grinder.</p>
+<h1>Kiosk-Mounted Accessories</h1>
+<p>Kiosks often have accessories on them, such as signage and promotional devices.</p>
+<h2>Movie Promo Lightbox</h2>
+<p>These large, tall lightboxes are secured to the side of the kiosk with large Philips head screws that have Robinson/Square #2 drive in the middle of them. You can remove these screws to release the sign, then screw them back in to avoid losing them. You may need to move the sign on its hinge to reveal the screws.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>If the sign is not hinged, you may have to open the lightbox to access the screws. The lightbox can be popped open with a flathead screwdriver at each of the spots with a lock cylinder. These lightboxes are quite flimsy, expect it to open easily. If the light is blinding you, there's a switch at the bottom to turn the lights off.</p>
+<h2>Redbox Sign</h2>
+<p>The traditional, curved Redbox sign is affixed to the top of the kiosk. It shouldn't need to be removed, but it does make the kiosk around 7 feet tall on the ground - even taller when up on the wheel of a dolly.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>If you need to remove it – todo: add info about removal</p>
+<h2>Advertising Display</h2>
+<p>Some Redbox kiosks (apparently ~10%) were equipped with advertising displays on the top. These replace the traditional Redbox Sign mentioned earlier. These advertising displays are significantly taller than the original Redbox sign.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>todo: removal info</p>
+<h2>Outdoor Signage</h2>
+<p>Many units outdoors have elaborate signage to draw attention to the kiosks. This may require special equipment to remove.</p>
+<h1>Disc Removal</h1>
+<p>Do not attempt to remove the discs at the store the kiosk is hosted at - this is likely to disrupt the store's customers or employees and could create a problem. Once you're</p>

+<p>Kiosk Engine is the custom application designed by Redbox for use on the kiosks by both employees and customers. By default, Kiosk Engine boots into a rental menu&nbsp;after the device initializes.</p>
+<p>The rental menu&nbsp;features both a day and night mode. During the day, the rental screen will use white backgrounds to enhance contrast in sunlight. In evening hours, the menu&nbsp;will use black backgrounds to avoid eye strain from bright display panels.</p>
+<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:32.47%;"><img src="/kioskengine/rentalhome.png">
+  <figcaption>Newest version of the rental screen homepage in Daytime mode</figcaption>
+</figure>
+<h1>OfflineMode</h1>
+<p>This rental menu allows users to rent, buy, return, or pickup reserved movies. When the device is in OfflineMode, the kiosk will allow users to only rent 3 movies at a time. Some movies may be restricted from rental or purchase while in OfflineMode, though the reason for this is not fully understood. The card used to complete transactions in OfflineMode can be used multiple times as the kiosk does not make any attempt to limit this.</p>
+<p>All kiosks are in OfflineMode as Redbox's services no longer exist.</p>
+<h1>Accessing Service Menus</h1>
+<p>It's possible to access multiple service menus via Kiosk Engine.</p>
+<h2>Field Maintenance via Rental Menu</h2>
+<p>On the homepage, press the ? or Help button. Once on the help page, tap/click the Redbox logo. “Please Wait” will appear briefly before being replaced with a login screen.</p>
+<p>Without <a href="https://redbox.wiki/en/kioskengine/field-maintenance">patching DLLs</a> or emulating the authentication servers, you can go no further past this point. If authentication does succeed, you will enter the <a href="/kioskengine/field-maintenance">Field Maintenance Application</a>.</p>
+<h2>Redbox Desktop via Keyboard</h2>
+<p>From anywhere (assuming the application is responding and kiosk is initialized), you can use the key combo <code>CTRL + ALT + ENTER</code> to access a Redbox Control Panel Login panel. Kiosks in OfflineMode allow use of any credentials to login.&nbsp;</p>
+<p>If login succeeds, you will be sent to the <a href="/kioskengine/redbox-desktop">Redbox Desktop</a>.</p>
+<h2>“Select Resource Bundle” Menu via Keyboard</h2>
+<p>There is a way to open a menu that allows selecting “Resource Bundles” without the use of a discrete chain of keyboard combinations or UI interactions. The way to open this is unknown as of now, though it should be easy to figure out.</p>

+<h1>Modifying Kiosk to Allow Field Maintenance</h1>
+<p>The field maintenance screen sits behind a authentication screen that, unlike the Redbox Desktop, verifies credentials with redbox servers (which are no longer online). To get around this, @viper33802/@loki patched the DLL that has todo with the authentication. The steps are as follows:</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>Download the patched DLL from the discord (use the search feature to find the PATCHED dll)</li>
+  <li>Place this file in “C:\Program Files\Redbox\REDS\Kiosk Engine\bin”</li>
+  <li>Make a copy of your original DLL (ie, add “.backup” to the end of the filename)</li>
+  <li>Remove the “.patched” from the file name. It should now read “Redbox.Rental.Services.dll”</li>
+  <li>Open the registry by hitting Win+R and typing “regedit”. Then click run.</li>
+  <li>Navigate to the right directory using the left pane “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Redbox\REDS\KioskEngine\Store” making sure to click the store directory</li>
+  <li>In the right pane, locate a variable called “StandAlone” (if one does not exist, create one by right clicking and making a new string variable) and setting the value to “true"</li>
+  <li>Reboot your machine</li>
+  <li>Using the previously mentioned instructions to access the <a href="https://redbox.wiki/en/kioskengine">Field Management login page </a>, type in any value for the username and password and click login</li>
+  <li>SUCCESS! You should now be logged into the Field Maintenance Menu</li>

+<p>As the new owner of an abandoned Redbox kiosk, you've got a motorized, multi hundred pound, steel box waiting to become a security risk in front of you. There are multiple things worth tweaking in your unit before you leave it to sit powered on for an extended period of time.</p>
+<h1>Security</h1>
+<h2>Remove the Cellular Modem</h2>
+<p>Every kiosk contains a cellular modem. This modem likely still has a data plan, meaning that any units with power are still connected to the internet. Removing this before powering the unit on has no consequences and should be done to ensure you don't expose the kiosk directly to the internet, especially if you're doing this in the future when these Windows 7 Embedded installs are extremely outdated.</p>
+<h2>Disable or Uninstall Kaseya</h2>
+<p>Kaseya was software Redbox used to help manage their kiosks remotely. This software only can be connected to via <code>accessredbox.net</code> servers. This domain is still registered at this time, though the eventual owner of this domain in the future could repurpose it into a malicious Command and Control server for any remaining kiosks connected to the internet. You should disable the Kaseya services in Service Management or otherwise uninstall it.</p>
+<h2>Disable or Uninstall RealVNC</h2>
+<p>RealVNC is installed on many Redbox kiosks, specifically RealVNC 4. This is a very old version of RealVNC and should be uninstalled or removed. You can disable it in Service Management or uninstall it fully.</p>
+<h1>Clean Up</h1>
+<h2>Remove old .log files</h2>
+<p>It's recommended for all owners to purge old .log files as they could contain some limited personal information of individuals who previously rented from a kiosk. If your kiosk has been down for several months when you power it on, the KioskEngine will automatically purge the old logs for you.</p>

+<h1>Extremely Laggy UI</h1>
+<p>Some kiosks come configured with their GPU drivers disabled. This results in the user interface being exceptionally slow and choppy. Animations will stutter and tear, and overall it looks quite bad.</p>
+<p>You can attempt to fix this by simply turning on the GPU drivers in Device Manager, accessible via <a href="/kioskengine/redbox-desktop">Redbox Desktop</a>. Techs have noted that this may not work and the device will simply not boot until you enter safe mode, though this doesn't appear to strictly be the case.</p>
+<p>One potential route is using a DisplayPort to DVI cable or adapter and re-running the cable through the harness to the door if your VGA cable doesn't work. <strong>Note that Windows will take forever to boot the first time you do this</strong>, so give it 10-20 minutes before you give up and reset everything. It will seem like it's frozen, but it's not. If your disk activity light is out and the keyboard isn't responding, something may have went wrong.</p>
